Russell Wilson Eyes Multiple Super Bowls With Broncos

Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson set some lofty goals upon his arrival in Denver and his first press conference following the trade.

Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson has set some pretty lofty goals upon his arrival in Denver which include not one, not two, but three or four Super Bowl wins over the next decade.

“My goal is to play 10 or 12 more years and hopefully win three, four more Super Bowls, that’s the plan,” Wilson said. “That’s the mindset. That’s why I came here, to finish my career here and hopefully finish on top as a champion. And do it multiple times.”

Wilson, of course, has already won a Super Bowl and appeared in another, however, that last appearance came eight seasons ago and he and his former team, the Seahawks, never made it back to the NFC Championship Game after that 2014 season.

Wilson has never been shy about over-the-top self-promotion. Less we forget “Mr. Unlimited” and his claim of rehabbing 19 to 20 hours a day. This is just another example of exaggerating the reality of this situation. Not necessarily a bad thing… if you can back it up.

Right off the bat, at 33-years-old, it is highly unlikely he plays another 10 years, let alone 12. People need to disregard the career arc of Tom Brady when trying to evaluate and project the future of other quarterbacks. It is impossible to compare anything to a unicorn. In addition, Wilson’s Lebron-like championship goals would give him the second-most career wins and appearances. Not a bad goal if you were a Super Bowl or two away. All Wilson has to do in the next 10 years is become Joe Montana and win four Super Bowls in seven years. Insert eye roll here.

Winning in the NFL is not easy. Outside of Brady, the only two quarterbacks that have at least four Super Bowls is the aforementioned Montana and the “original TB12”, Terry Bradshaw. Former Broncos quarterback and executive, John Elway, has the second-most appearances behind Brady at five. So, bottom line, pick any one of those three quarterbacks and Wilson is setting his sights on accomplishing what they did in their entire career in a 10-year span. Seems a bit out of reach, especially considering the state of the AFC West where they may be the third-best team in that division.

At the end of the day, the Broncos did improve with the trade of Russell Wilson… just maybe not to the level in which their new quarterback apparently believes.
